Some of the best ideas are blatantly obvious. For example this one: ‘Let’s do an interview podcast with the Australian design scene, because it doesn’t exist yet”. But how many good ideas never get made? Too many. Luckily Flyn Tracy and Matt Leach (whose day jobs include leading Sydney’s Tractor Design School) were undeterred and are now introducing Australian Design Radio to our earbuds.

And as their latest interviewee, yours truly got an opportunity to talk about design, creative technology and mentorships. Some top questions from Jason Little and the listeners were addressed as well. Click through to listen to my chat with Matt & Flyn here:

Australian Design Radio Episode 6 with myself
When Australian Design Radio launched less than a month ago, it took off like a naughty pic on Snapchat. Shooting to more than a 1,000 listeners per episode, it already features on Apple’s coveted New & Noteworthy iTunes page.
ADR recommended on iTunes
Creative luminaries interviewed so far were Jason Little (ex Re & Landor, now For The People), Kevin Finn (DesigNerd, Open Manifesto & The Sum Of, ex-Saatchi), Frankie Ratford (The Design Kids), Matt Stott (Common, ex-Attik) and Chris Doyle (own studio, ex-Interbrand).

The interview itself was hugely enjoyable, because Matt and Flyn are top blokes and cultural connectors-par-excellence. I am sure the podcast will greatly increase their reputation. In addition to just having a chat with about our views on design, I was able to reflect on the reasons for my creative approach and past choices of clients and projects.
So let the guys know what you think of Australian Design Radio and subscribe to the whole series on iTunes. Lots of high calibre creatives are already lining up to go ‘On Air’ with Matt and Flyn for ‘ADR – Season 2’.
